To answer the question, "Rogue" is nothing more than a house-brand name for Musician's Friend.
That's it.
It's not a company, it doesn't make anything, it doesn't have a factory. It's merely the name numerous manufacturers put on contract product ordered by Musician's Friend.

I have a Behringer mixer (MXB1002) and it's proved me fine...
And just for fucks sake, is it
Rogue>Behringer, or Behringer>Rogue?

Damn instrument whores!acidrock said:As you look through catalogs you will see instruments that look exactly alike,except for their labels.The price difference can be for the materials,quality control or just the name.They're all made in the same factory just for different companies.

Exactly....Hop Sings' guitar factory in korea makes the same guitar for a half- dozen companies to market. It's like any other product. My brother worked in a ketchup factory in N.Y. years ago and he said the same ketchup was bottled with 7 different labels.
Got some cash and a nice logo??? Start your own guitar line and advertise that... "it's even better than a Rogue"!!!!

I it keeps prices down, I guess it's OK. but as far as instruments go, the cheaper priced guitars are not built the same as the higher costing ones. Different wood, different QA, and that's why they don't cost the same. I don't think any part of them is the same, except for the overall design...goldtopchas said:

That little bass amp I had sounded like crap until we ran it through the PA. Our guitarist was the sound guy since it was his gear. He managed to finally get it to sound decent after about 2 hours of knob turning.lbanks said:
Then he got mad at me and told me not to bring it to gigs anymore. I used a bass processor straight into the PA after that.
I still want the Gallien-Krueger amp....

It doesn't make a diff WHO owns Squire as thier axes are constructed on the CHEAP!
Squire's only purpose is to allow the owner a cheap bass in which to experiment with modifying. I have a Squire P-Bass where I replaced the tuning keys with Schallers, out-fitted with Bartolini p/ups,changed the pick-guard with a Fender, changed the back, neck-plate and bridge. In addition,
I also changed the pots and added a lower-rated capacitor for greater tone ctl. A few minor fret adjmts, screws, this & that and now my Squire gives me a unique tone and quality perf alomost on par with both my Jazz & Pre-CBS Precision.
